Couples Stories
A Love They Will Never Know Part 1

There was this couple. They had their
problems. They fought. She was mean, and he was meaner.
But they loved each other deeply.

One day, they fought again. Only this time, it didn’t get
better. All they could think of is how it is finally going to
be the last straw. They hung on for a little bit longer just to
keep the love alive. However, it wasn't enough. She finally told
him it was over. He was shocked. He could not believe it. He could
not believe that after all this time, the inevitable has happened.
He was so deeply in love that he was blinded by it. He could not
accept it for never in his right mind would he had thought that
it would be over between the two of them. After all, they fought
often but were still together for three years.

The days went by. They didn’t talk much to
each other at all. After barely talking for a week,
she went to his house. His heart hit his throat. He
had so many butterflies in his stomach that he thought
he was going to throw up. He didn’t know what
to say. She came in, laid her stuff down and they
went to his bedroom.

She asked, "How are you?"
He simply replied, "I’m okay."
Neither of them said another word as they sat there.
They turned to look at each other. His eyes started
to swell and tears filled his eyes. She looked back
with the same expression. Then, it happened.
She opened her mouth and simply said, "I miss
you so much."
He didn’t know what to say. His mind drew a
blank. After a moment, the words came back to him.
He looked back at her and replied, "I miss you
so much too."
They started crying and he holds her to comfort her.
She didn’t resist.

After that afternoon together, she left. Later, he went online
on his computer to see if she was online. She wasn't. He waited
for her to go online and hours went by but she remained offline.
He waited as long as he could before going to bed. The next day,
he received an email.
It says, "Hi, yesterday was great but you know it doesn't
change anything. I still don’t want to be with you and I
don’t know if I can see you anymore. I want to move on with
my life."
It was as if someone hit him right in the head with a pipe. He
was shocked again.
He felt confused and upset and all he could think of was, "Did
I do something wrong?"

Time seemed to have slowed down as the days crawled by. Once
again, he didn’t see her for a couple of days. Then out
of the blue, she called. He picked it up on the first ring when
he saw her name on the caller id. They talked and she asked about
him. At the end of it, she said she had to go and she will talk
to him later online. However, there were things he didn’t
say, wanted to say and needed to say. He figured that he would
just tell her later. He was delighted to meet her online later
at night and started talking to her immediately. The conversation
was good until she told him how she felt about not loving him
anymore and wanting a new life.

Once again, it felt like he was hit on the head with a pipe.
All that went through his head was, "This can't be... I love
her."
As much as he was reluctant to face up to reality, it was happening.
She ended the conversation by telling him she had homework to
do and had to shower.
